#1 Using diplomats, the way to deal with this is to be very clear that everyone involved is committing an *international* crime, and with a change in the political winds in Iran, they could, and will, likely find themselves in the dock. And that the international community is keeping records of who is responsible.

And, given such a hideous and obscene method of tortuous murder, Iranian leaders could spend the rest of their lives in prison. Most certainly, any chance of their leaving Iran in haste, to retire in another country, would no longer be possible.

#2 Iran's got to feed the religion with blood. It is a thirsty religion.

#3 The rights group said that, despite this, she was subsequently convicted of "adultery while being married", which it said she denied, and was sentenced to death by stoning.

The woman was supposedly complicit in the murder of her husband, too. I don't know the circumstances, but perhaps she does deserve the death penalty. And maybe it's hogwash. And maybe he deserved it. And maybe it didn't happen.

If Brazil were to accept her, it would probably behoove them to look into the veracity of and circumstances surrounding her husband's death, and perhaps offer to put her in prison for life there.
